10 Best Free Dating Sites for Teenagers (13- to 17-Year-Olds & Up)

There are tons of horror stories about teens being lured off the Internet and into compromising positions by pedophiles and sex traffickers. Unfortunately these types of stories are not merely urban legends. They really happen and Internet savvy teens are at the greatest risk. The popularity of meet-and-greet websites over the past few years has only increased the danger that a teen will fall victim to an online predator. Websites like friendster. These sites are not dating sites and, unlike reputable online dating services, the friendship building sites rarely screen users. All it takes to become a member is a username, a password and 5 minutes to build a profile. Users can upload pictures and they can post any information about themselves that they want including how to reach them in the real world. The sites are not monitored on an individual basis but instead operate under a complaint system. If another user or an outside individual, like a parent or teacher, complains about a profile only then do the site administrators bother to look at it.

Now, in addition to Snapchat, Instagram, and Twitter, teens have hundreds of sites just for them, and they can chat and get to know all kinds of people within seconds. Match is strictly for teens aged 18 and 19 as well as young adults, millennials, and seniors, among others. You can sign up via Facebook or Twitter to get your profile up in seconds. Download the app on an iOS or Android device and chat anywhere you go with people your age and who share your points of view. Teen Dating Site launched around and quickly became a popular destination for this particular audience. The platform offers browsing, photo upload and photo sharing, two-way communication, a Hot or Not game, and quick registration input your username, birthday, gender, location, email, and password.

Online teen dating seems to be ready made for concern. Online dating has made its way to teens, with disastrous results. In , the friend-finding and dating app Skout temporarily shut down its teen component after three teen users reported that men posing as teenagers on the app raped and sexually assaulted them. The FBI has reported multiple cases of adult men sexually exploiting minors they met on mobile apps. This is serious stuff.
